Wow. Over emails 😂 honestly, I'm just glad he's no longer in Thailand #dolt #unhinged

Fewer tourist on Koh Samui sounds wonderful. But never fear, there are plenty of other tourist waiting in line to fill the void.

Could (and frequently does) have just as easily have happened at a fraternity party in the USA.

Yet, Thailand has everyone conned that their medical capabilities are 1st class (hub of medical tourism). Can't have it both ways. If a Thai who relo to UK wants to brings his Thai dad to UK for treatment, that's a testament to Thai medical capabilities. Then again if it's not plastic surgery, maybe Thai medical capabilities really are not all that. Else, this is just a halfbaked sob story.

ICU nurse must see a lot of motorcycle accident patients. No one ever thinks it will happen to them. Love and learn.

Fool. Send him back to the USA. Too many of these broke chumps coming to Thailand trying to live on their paltry social security. Let him perpetrate his petty crimes on US soil. Make america great again 😂

This country is so trapped by myths and superstition that it's no wonder their education system gets poor grades. Not to mention they allow anyone to drop out after grade 9. And nothing will change as long as the people in charge first reaction is to question the survey methodology (stop blaming the messenger). This is not the first, nor will it be the last, time the education system in this country has been criticized. Wake up or stay dumb it seems. You want to solve... Make education free for all through grade 12, build better schools, hire better teachers (and stop blindly praising them just because they are teachers - most are mediocre at best), and use better text books.

2 women tried that with me in Vietnam. I immediately went the other way. Astonishing what some people fall for.

Another young life overwhelmed by everything Bangkok had to offer him.

Can't tarnish what does not shine.

It's the land of smiles because they have a smile for every emotion and social situation... Happiness, fear, disbelief... They as easily smile when they like you as when they are stealing from you... It will be forever LoS

How this ends next time is someone gets shot. Too much testosterone all the way around. If you are fighting over a car park, you have lost the plot.

Who cares what the US does or doesn't do. This is Thailand. And if you want to stay more than 60 days you should be required to get a visa. Read the article. TAT has done the research. Tourist (long or short haul) don't stay for more than 30 days. These snowbirds, as you call them, are not tourist, and should have the proper visas.

What they really need to do is refuse entry for anyone attempting back-to-back visa exempt entries (or require at least a 30 day gap between subsequent visa exempt entries)... 30 visa exempt with a 30 day extension while in country is 60 days... that's more than enough for any tourist. If you need more than that you are not a tourist, and you absolutely should be required to get the proper visa from a Thai consulate.

Lies and fraud will always catch up to you eventually... No sympathy for this person.

Still no mention of the charges the elderly where guilty of. In any event, time for these 2 to get out of town while the getting is good.

So constantly.

Counter charges claiming injury and mental anguish? Not from what I saw in the video of the attack. Something is not right, or missing. There was clearly history between these 2 couples. If anything, this should be a cautionary tell to all expats... NEVER engage with any angry Thai - man or woman (although it seems the male attacker might be English, married to a Thai); or more simply do anything you can to avoid getting sucked into the Thai judicial system when the likely complainant is Thai. On its face, it seems the law and courts are siding with/favoring the Thai woman (and her English husband) involved here (maybe she's connected, who knows). Sad AF! And the retirees can't even flee as their passports where confiscated.

All they need is an Airbnb account and they can find 100s (maybe 1000s) of condo owners and their agents offering short term rentals

Lean into a bouncer and prepare to be bounced.

Sadly, Uyghur are persecuted in China. And many want to flee just to find better lives. Thailand had a chance to be better, but in true Thai fashion keeled to their Chinese overlords. Surprised they held out for 10 years, but seeing as all Thailand did has detain (imprison) them, China simply had Thailand on a longer leash than usual. But kneel they did. In the dark of night to hide their shame.

Senior citizen mule.

Just what Thailand needs more foreigners toting backpacks begging for food, rides, money... GTFOH.

Par for course, really. Thailand and technology... In this country, technology deployments simply speed up the level of incompetence. Put a system on top of a broken process and all you get is a broken system.

IO corruption and the visa agencies that participate (with them) are THE problem when it comes to people getting a visa that don't qualify for. Nothing new.
